Execution listener on end event?

unsavory — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 01:24:18 GMT

I need to have an execution listener defined on the end event of my process. Something like this:<endEvent id="abandoned"> <extensionElements> <activiti:executionListener class="seah.bpm.qualification.UserStatusListener"> <activiti:field name="s

You can add the listener one level up, under the process. That should work.

But your case should work to. Can you create a Jira + testcase?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm having a similar issue in 5.14. I used the Eclipse designer to add the listener, and verified the generated BPMN (below). Any ideas why this listener would not be fired? My task listeners are working perfectly…just not the execution listener. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I tried the org.activiti.examples.bpmn.executionlistener.ExecutionListenerTest.testExecutionListenersOnAllPossibleElements()with small change


 <process id="executionListenersProcess">
  
    <extensionElements>
      <activiti:executionListener class="org.activiti.examples.bpmn.executionlistener.ExampleExecutionListenerOne" event="start" />
    </extensionElements>

to end event.


 <process id="executionListenersProcess">
  
    <extensionElements>
      <activiti:executionListener class="org.activiti.examples.bpmn.executionlistener.ExampleExecutionListenerOne" event="end" />
    </extensionElements>

It works. Could you create test case for it?

Regards
Martin

This turned out to be a problem with our process definition. We had a requirement to unassign tasks that had been assigned for more than 24 hours, and this was implemented using a parallel gateway and a timer/script that fired every 24 hours (which is obviously a bad idea for a variety of reasons). The parallel execution prevented the workflow from ever completing, and thus the listener was never being fired. We'll have to set up a job elsewhere to meet the 'unassign expired tasks' requirement, but at least we have our listeners working now.

Thanks for the help.
